Milan & Phoenix - Istanbul lyrics

rate me

Istanbul was Constantinople

Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople

Been a long time gone, not Constantinople

Now it's Turkish delight on a moonlit night

Every gal in Constantinople

Lives in Istanbul, not Constantinople

So if you've a date in Constantinople

She'll be waiting in Istanbul

Istanbul (Istanbul)

Istanbul (Istanbul)

Istanbul was Constantinople

Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople

Been a long time gone, not Constantinople

Now it's Turkish delight on a moonlit night

Every gal in Constantinople

Lives in Istanbul, not Constantinople

So if you've a date in Constantinople

She'll be waiting in Istanbul

Even old New York was once New Amsterdam

Why they changed it I can't say

People just liked it better that way, better that way

Better that way, better that way, better that way

Istanbul (Istanbul)

Istanbul (Istanbul)

Istanbul was Constantinople

Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople

Been a long time gone, not Constantinople

Now it's Turkish delight on a moonlit night

Every gal in Constantinople

Lives in Istanbul, not Constantinople

So if you've a date in Constantinople

She'll be waiting in Istanbul.
